What happened in Tara
Artemis had to admit, Tara had never looked so threatening. He didn’t rememebr the place to be anything like this. It looked so… forbidding.
“Well, here’s your new home! Hope you like it! ” The irritating voice of Jane ringed in their ears.
The family was tied up in a bundle, leaving no space for them to move at all. The rope was really thick, slowly cutting into Artemis’ skin. It was torturous.
“Where are we? ” Angeline ordered an answer from Jane. Not that she wanted to escape. She was afraid for the safety of her children. All her children.
“You’re underground, of course. Underground Tara. A noisy place, unfortunately. ”
“Who are you? ” Artemis Senior shouted. He struggled to move his neck. “And where is Diana? ”
At Diana’s name, Jane’s mouth twitched into an evil smile. “The poor kid’s looking for her dead daddy right now. ”
When Artemis Senior’s eyes widened, Jane added. “Not you, her real daddy. She thinks he’s alive. But he’s as dead as Einstein. ”
“Where is she now? ” Angeline almost shouted at Jane.
Jane smiled. “She might be on her way to a delicious trap I set up. ”
“Mother, I’ll get Butler to get her, ” Artemis whispered.
“Don’t bother. ” Jane scoffed. “Turn around. ”
When the family craned their necks to get a look at the back, they could make out the shape of Butler and Juliet, lying on the floor, not moving a muscle.
**********************************************
“Oh yeah… ” Diana just remembered something.
“What? What is it? ”
Diana turned, gave him an uneasy smile. “I just remembered. ” She swallowed. ”I have no idea where Tara is. ” Then her face lightened up, remembering another piece of news.
“I can get help, though. I know some friends. They know Tara very, very well. “

Hey guys! Some of you may find this story familiar. Just a news flash: I had to re-publish this because, well, I couldn’t update at all the last time. I’m technologically cursed, like Lydia Tall.
Anyways, enjoy the story!

The sentences are somewhat choppy, but otherwise okay. It wasn’t bad, though…who’s the jerk who rated it a one?

Ahh, choppy? Hmm, I’ll amend it accordingly. Lol, I think the ratings have been cleared again.

These sentences were either choppy, or incomplete sentences.
Diana had a crisis. David just shouted at her. Because Artemis’s mother had adopted her. Why was he acting like that? He never even scolded her before. And this time, Diana let her tears flow. They were overpowering her eyes. Was he overprotective? Or did he just want Diana to stay in his house? Was he lonely without her?
Sorry, I’m just picky like that and it really bothered me.

Oh, I get what you mean. OK, maybe I’ll join some up together and make the sentences longer.

I don’t really like my introduction myself… just a few ammendments… Ahh. There we go.

I admit it. Romance is definitely NOT my type. But when you look at every guide to writing they have here, they just say you have to have a little. And that just makes me uncomfortable.

LOL well I loved the first one, and the second is awesome too. The story’s great. I can see that the sentences are a bit choppy as well, though I didn’t know how to put it into words. Choppy fits though. Overall, it isn’t bad in the slightest.
